}Notes
- Foreign items: the same lookup returns the Greek leg of foreign S10 items ELTA delivers (for example
..FR); pass?carrier=eltafor those, since their shape belongs to the origin post. - ELTA Courier vouchers: the endpoint is ELTA's shared tracking box; courier vouchers were not available to verify, so only S10 numbers are auto-detected.
- Time zone: Greek local time, converted from
Europe/Athens. 'Can be collected' scans are reported asexception(awaiting collection).
